    Help w finding a solution to convert wired speakers to wireless (via wifi stream) that works well with Roon?

    Found an airport express that was tucked away in a closet here. I'm going to give that a try this weekend. I also found a (ahem) somewhat reasonably priced Chromecast Audio on EBay. Seller wanted $110 for "new, factory sealed", but I offered $80 and they accepted. So I'm going to try that...

    JBL Stage A130 Review (speaker)

    LOL - yes, that definitely won't happen :-). Still, I'd have to think some EQ will help.

    JBL Stage A130 Review (speaker)

    Understood. Part of the impetus for REW and the mic isn't so much the A-130's, since they sound really great right now. Rather, it is the main stereo in our living room. I've got a pair of standmount speakers that were made locally hear in New Orleans and purchased about 13 years ago...

    JBL Stage A130 Review (speaker)

    I'm just getting into this (not listening to music :), but the Science part of audio). I purchased these based, on Amir's analysis and review, for use as desktop speakers hooked up to the Loxjie A30. I've got to say, using the recommended EQ settings they sound fantastic. I was listening to...

    Not necessarily, I'll check it out. I thought I had read somewhere that Airport Express couldn't handle higher quality audio formats. Although that's not a major issue since this isn't for serious listening.

    Help w finding a solution to convert wired speakers to wireless (via wifi stream) that works well with Roon?

    Thanks. Is the Pi with a DAC hat a DYI? I have no electrical skills whatsoever :-). I've seen ChromeCast Audio on Ebay, but they all want $125+, when I think the original device was more in the range of $30.

    Help w finding a solution to convert wired speakers to wireless (via wifi stream) that works well with Roon?

    Sorry if this has been asked and answered. But I've searched the forums and am confused. I've got two pairs of Sierra Sound IN Studio powered Monitors (built-in 50w Amp and a picture of available inputs below. I bought about ten years ago aren't bad, although nothing compared to the JBL Stage...

    EQ Help with Polk Audio Monitor Series II: RM 3000 System (1996) Measurements?

    I inherited a set Polk Audio speakers (ca. 1996) that I am using as a desktop system. I was able to find a HiFi Magazine review of the speakers, that included a verbal description of their test results here - http://www.hifi-classic.net/review/polk-audio-rm3000-574.html. To synopsize: The...

    Loxjie A30 Amplifier Review

    I've been using it with my Grado SR60's as well, and get some hiss when using the USB port (no noise when in speaker mode). I don't have a toslink on my pc, so I've had to unplug the USB and use Bluetooth if I want to use the headphones. A little bit of an inconvenience, but the bluetooth...

    Welcome New Members to ASR, introduce yourself here.

    Man! I just want to say THANK YOU! To Amir, and all of the people that put this site together, answer posts, do measurements, et al. I am just blown away by the information, and how much this site, and Floyd Toole's book, have helped to clear up so many questions that I had. Since joining...

    Meta-Database: List of Audio Databases & Resources

    Hi, I am brand new here, but is the google sheet database of reviews/measurements still active? When I click on the link it says that the file does not exist. I tried searching the site to see if there was a new link, but the one in this post was the only one I could find. Or is that by design...
